Do you mean the intake manifold does not fit the milled heads?

If so, take the alignment pins off the plastic intake and grind them down a tad (grind the length and diameter). Re-install them in the intake and bolt it on....

I was asking about this here with my .055 milled heads but they ended up fitting OK diring the swap
